Crich is one of our favourite villages in the whole area with The Loaf Bakery and cafe, a range of grocers, independent shops, hair and beauty salons, pubs and the famous Crich Tramway Museum.

A daily bus service runs to the nearby secondary schools in Wirksworth and Matlock. Within 5 minutes you can walk to countryside treks in all directions and the hills surrounding the village offer some challenging rides for cyclists. It s a fantastic place to live and from which to explore the local area.
